This page will detail just a few of the infinite number
of alternate timelines in the universe. Many of these are taken from the LUG
ST:RPG supplement- All our Yesterdays. Ships from each detailed universe and
others are original and will be placed here as well.
In the normal timeline, the Borg Invaded Federation
space in 2366 with a single cube ship. The Borg cube devastated a Federation
fleet at Wolf 359 and made its way to Earth orbit before being stopped by the
actions of the crew of the USS Enterprise-D. The Borg ship self-destructed as a
result.
In this timeline, the efforts of the
Enterprise crew were unsuccessful in stopping the Borg, who conquered Earth and
assimilated its population and technology. So began a systematic Borg assault on
the civilizations of the Alpha Quadrant. Borg drones on Earth began the
immediate construction of new ships, which spread out towards other Federation
worlds, attacking and assimilating them in turn. Federation ships and weapons
proved useless against the Borg's superior technology. Although Starfleet
personnel were able to win some minor victories, they could not halt the Borg's
advance. With each planet they assimilated, the Borg grew stronger while the
Federation weakened.
In an unprecedented move,
the major powers of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants-the Federation, the Romulan
Empire, the Klingon Empire, and the Cardassian Union-formed an alliance to fight
against the Borg. Even with their combined fleets and firepower, the new
alliance could not overcome the Collective. They slowly continued to fall back
against the Borg onslaught, which quickly overran most of Federation and Klingon
territory, as well as large portions of Cardassian and Romulan space. By 2370,
the Borg controlled the majority of alliance territory and continued to expand.
They assimilated the Bajor Sector before the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole,
so it remains unknown, although some alliance survivors find hope in Bajoran
legends of a "celestial temple." A few desperate explorers hope to find the
temple as a refuge or a source of allies against the Borg. The Borg onslaught
also encouraged the Romulans to reveal the existance of the Taurhaui Unity to
the rest of the alliance, which is hoping to petition the Taurhaui for
aid.

Recommendations for other ship SSDs available: Federation
- No ships above 3Xl except for above. Ph-9s and Quan are rare. Galaxy Class
represents the most advanced ships in the remaining fleet.
Romulan, Klingons, Cardassians - No change, advancement proceeds
at the same rate.
No Dominion, Breen, or
Ferengi
Other races - use best judgement
In 1270, early in its space flight era, Vulcan was
attacked by a fleet of unknown vessels emerging from a wormhole in its star
system. For a century, the Vulcans repelled attacks from this fleet, eventually
driving them from their system altogether. The Vulcans did not learn until much
later that the attacking fleet was made up of Romulans, a faction of exiled
Vulcans.
In this timeline, the first
Romulan-Vulcan war resulted in victory for the Romulans, who retook their
homeworld and instituted a new military controlled government there. When the
wormhole connecting the Vulcan and Romulan star systems closed, the Romulans
already held Vulcan in a tight grip. The Vulcans opposed the Romulans through
passive resistance, which failed to move the conquerors. The teachings of Surak
were outlawed, and its followers were forced underground. Over time, Vulcan
culture became more and more Romulan in character, reverting back to its warrior
roots, but mote unified than before.
Cut off from
contact with Romulus because of the lack of warp technology and subspace radio,
Vulcan continued on its own for centuries. When they developed warp drive, the
Vulcans (who no longer called themselves Romulans) began to expand out into
space. They conquered several nearby star systems and sent envoys to make
contact with their cousins on Romulus. At first, the future of the Vulcan race
looked bright, but trouble quickly developed.
Both Vulcan and Romulus considered themselves the center of a new
empire, based on the Way of D'era. The Romulans believed they were the
true inheritors of the Way, since it was their ancestors who first left Vulcan.
The Vulcans believed they, as the homeworld, deserved that position. Political
tensions quickly gave way to war between the two powers.
In the meanwhile, a Vulcan scout vessel encountered a warp
signature in the Sol system and made first contact with Earth. Vulcan warriors
easily conquered the war-torn Earth, followed not long thereafter by Alpha
Centauri, itself recovering from a deadly plague. The Vulcans formed an alliance
with the warlike Andorians, bringing them into the Empire as allies against the
Romulans. The Romulans, in turn, have made overtures to the Klingon Empire and
established a shaky alliance with them. Vulcan military commanders like Sarek
won brilliant victories over the Romulan Empire before the Romulans developed
cloaking technology. This led the two powers to declare a truce and create the
Vulcan Neutral Zone, warily watching each other as they rebuild their
fleets.

In 2370, Worf unknowingly ruptured a quantum fissure,
breaking down the walls between parallel dimensions and causing some 285,000
alternate realities to merge (possibly more, but any without an Enterprise would
not have been noticed) In this alternate reality, the rupture was stabilized,
but all of the ships and crews remained. Plans were quickly developed to use
adapted transporters to beam crew members back to there own parallel universe
using their quantum signature and a positive safe location they were aware of in
their universe (in most cases, Earth) This left almost 200,000 crew members who
could not or would not be sent back. It also left 285,000+ Galaxy Class Vessels
floating in space. Of the 285,000 vessels, 250,000 were in optimum operational
condition. Of the 250,000, 50,000 are being scrapped for parts, replicators,
power cores, etc. to be spread throughout the Federation, 300+ were assigned
permanent guard duty among the Federation Worlds and Colonies (about 2 per
planet), and 10,000 plus were refitted and replaced almost every other ship
class the Federation had. Galaxy class vessels are used for Exploration, Science
Missions, Transports, even Luxury liners and Amusement centers. After every
possible option for using a Galaxy class vessel had been exhausted, they were
left with over 100,000 ships. They currently reside in 5 seperate, uninhabited
systems, floating in huge groups in open space. Some have been stolen and
destroyed, but many just sit silently and unused.
The Federation in this parallel universe is the powerhouse of the
Galaxy. The single Borg Cube invasion of 2373 was met with almost 200 Galaxy
Class vessels and destroyed quickly. The Romulans have hidden behind their own
borders, the Cardassian DMZ was never created due to the fear of Federation
military might. The only potential enemy to the Federation in this universe
would be the Dominion, who they have not encountered yet.
The Federation is a virtual paradise, even compared with the
'normal' universe. Only Orion raiders and other pirates raid the Galaxy
stockyards for the occasional parts or even ship. The Federation has other
problems building though...The Romulans, Cardassians, and Breen have forged a
secret alliance out of fear of the Federation. They have made contact with a
powerful group in the Gamma Quadrant as well as several smaller empires in plans
to destroy the Galaxy stockyards and reduce the Federation down to tolerable
levels. Their plans are to use cloaking technology to plan a huge multi-level
assault on the Federation shipyards. They have already outfitted hundreds of
Cardassian and Breen vessels with cloaks and are sharing the technology with the
Dominion to tempt them into the alliance.
Meanwhile, the Borg have not forgotten about Earth....
